Jane Watson, Vice Principal for Sixth Form, created a display of student photos through the years and produced a newspaper featuring sixth form articles.
Head Boy Tom McCartin gave a speech, saying the one word he would use to describe the group would be 'unique'. He said: "We're as tight as a knot as a year group but we're so different. I think that's brought us together in the last seven years.
"Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Ms Watson summed up the sixth formers' achievements over the last two years, including Open University modules, charity fundraising, the work by the different committees and summer schools.
Ms Watson said: "It's been an honour and a privilege to work with you. I feel particularly proud because I know you're going on to fantastic things. A Levels are not easy and they're not easy to pass without hard work.
"We also wanted our students to have other experiences so they stand out from the crowd and so they're unique, as Tom said. If we look at everything that's been achieved, it's fantastic and you're going to go on to wonderful things."
